If Johnny Chuck could have heard and understood what Farmer Brown sald about drowning him out he would have been very uneasy. But Johnny €huck didn’t hear and he wouldn't have understood if he had heard, so Johnny didn’'t worry. But! Farmer Brown's Boy worrfed. Ye: sir, Farmer Brown's Boy worried. You see he knew just how his father felt. | He knew that it when the corn was| up those Chucks ate much of it. Farm- | er Brown would insist that something be done to those Chucks. He would insist that they be drowned out or shot or trapped. Farmer Brown's Boy couldn’t blame his father much for feeling that way. “Of course,” sald Farmer Brown Boy to himself, “I can_ trap those two Chucks and carry them off and let them go where they will do no barm. But they have worked hard to make this new home and it seems a pity to upset all thelr plans. Then, too, I like to see them around. I wish I could talk to them and tell them that they mustn't go in that cornfleld. There is plenty of food for them on the other slde of the Long Lano, and we will never miss the clover and grass there. I just can’t bear to think of bothering them. For several days Farmer Brown's Boy kept thinking about Johnny and Polly Chuck, and trying to think of some way of keeping them from be- ing disturbed. But for the life of him he coyldn’t think of a thing he could do. He used to go down every day to visit them, and they soon be- came 80 used to him that they would allow him to come very near before they disappeared inside their home, The cornfield had been plowed and harrowed, but it was not yet time to put in the corn. It was while he was down near the Chuck home look- ing over the cornfield that a great idea came to him. Farmer Brown’s Boy began to whistle, a way he has of doing when he is happy. “I have it!” sald he to himself. “I have it! Chucks are very fond of beans. They love young bean plants. They are also very fond of squash plants. I'll plant some squashes and some beans just for them. These will grow very nicely between rows of young corn, and Polly and Johnny Chuck won't bother the corn when they can get those other things. That's what I'll do, I'll plant & garden for Johnny and Polly Chuck.” My, wouldn’t Johnny and Polly Chuck have been tickled had they known what Farmer Brown's Boy was planning to dol But of course they didn't know, and, of course, Farmer Brown's Boy couldn’t tell them.

Soon a bird darted by me and struck against the trunk of an adjacent tree, and glancing up quickly I beheld my much-sought red-headed woodpecker.

Out in tho country they are often noticed about old orchards. In spring they are the noisiest of drummers and also have a loud, rattling call which proclaims their presence, but in nest- ing time they are very quiet The hole of the red-head Is often in a half-dead tree, rather high up, and the eggs, four to six, are laid on the fine chips left by the bird car- penters.

You see he didn't| want to be laughed at. So he quletly got together some seeds and waited for planting time. And all the time he kept thinking how delighted Johnny and Polly Chuck would be. “It will be the first garden they have ever had planted just for them” | thought he. “It will be the first time they have ever had such things to eat without stealing them. They probably will think they are stealing them this time, but they won't be. 1 guess I will add a few cabbage | plants, though I don’t suppose they'll | let them get big enough to amount | to anything.

BY PHILIP FRANCIS NOWLAN. COLEMAN VARIATIONS — Colman, MacCalman, MacCoiman, O'Coimam, Dow, Dove, Pigeon, Pldgeon. RACIAL ORIGIN—Irish and Scottish. SOURCE—Given names. The anglicized forms of these Irish and Highland Scottish clan names do not in every case reveal their specific origin. Altogether they come from two given names. There were three clans, or septs, two in Ireland and onme in Scotland, bearing these names, the name of one of the Irish and the Scottish clans having developed from the same glven name, but independ- ently. The most anclent of thae three clans apparently is that branch in Ireland, which spelled the name “O'Colum- hain.” It originated as an offshoot of the Fogarty clan, as nearly as can be ascertained, as early as 550 A. D., under the leadership of “Columhan Mor” (Colman the Great), who was the son of Dermod, the 133d monarch of all Ireland, and was himself the sixth Christian king of Meath. The clan furnished several of the high kings of Ireland in succeeding gen- erations. Donald O'Colman was the 161st of theso and reigned about 758 A. D. His son “Donchadh” (Donogh) became the \163d high king. The 167th high king was also an O'Col- man, being known as “Maolseachlinn Mor” (Malachy the Great). Then there was in Ireland an off- shoot of the Brady clan, known as the “Clan Columain,” from the given name “Columan” (“little dove"). From_this same name, borne, of course, by an entirely different chief- tain, a sept of the Clan Buchanan in Scotland developed “MacCalman” and MacColman.” The meaning of this given name explains the other angli- cized variations. Your Home and You BY HELEN KENDALL. Mother and Daughter. Two suburban neighbors, pleasant women both, sat chatting over thelr fllet crochet. Said one of them: “Young Mrs. Archer is wonderful, isn’t she? She looks very littlo older than her daughter Patty, and she 1s even more popular with the young boys. They fairly swarm around the Archer house, and I see Mrs. Archer talking and_ laughing _vivaciously with them. Patty telis me the boys are all stmply crazy about her mother.” The other woman looked a little serious. “How about Patty herself? Is she popular?’ she asked. “Someway she soems a shy, diffident young girl to me—a Iittle {ll at ease and subdued. Yet she used to be a lively, merry little child, full of gay spirita I wonder if her pretty young mother isn't overshadowing her, and uncon- sclously throwing her into the back- ground. “l knew a similar case years ago. A pretty woman, flattered by being told that she looked very little older than her daughter—like her older sister, you know—simply took the center of the stage at all their home and eclub doings, monopolizing the attention of the young chaps who would otherwise have been attracted to her daughter, and making the girl feel neglected, awkward and un- popular. The boys, who would ordi- narily have gone joyously about with the attractive young daughter, were held spellbound by the brilliant banter of the mother, which amounted to a sort of flirtatiousness, to which théy were blinded because of her motherhood. “Such women are a positive draw- back to their daughters and hamper them {nstead of helping them. It i3 splendid for a mother to bé on Jolly, pleasant terms with young fel- lows her daughters age, but when she uses them to feed her vanity in- stead of treating them as friends of her child's, she is keeping that child from developing into a buoyant, self- confldent, happy young woman."
